RE: side by side question
May I suggest Looking at Stoegers Uplander SxS with the 26" barrell & changeable Chokes . Or Stoegers Condor O/U in 26 " barrell. I own both an enjoy using them for Bird , Small Game , as well as Deer. Stogers are built well an have Nice wood when concidering what they cost . The stoger SxS with double triggers are a great gun . I must have shot close to 2000
rounds thru mine . Not a hick-upin 3yrs,
